  • Ferdinand Deist Stellenbosch University
Keywords: Humour, boundaries, ancient near east, prejudgements

Abstract

Human beings spontaneously form ethnic, economic, religious, political, sexual, occupational, and other groups.  For people belonging to one group to have certain prejudgements about people from another group, is normal.  Such prejudgements may, however, grow into prejudices (Allport 1954: 3-47).
